Course detail: Livestock Theft Investigation / Livestock Identification

LIVESTOCK THEFT INVESTIGATION / LIVESTOCK IDENTIFICATION

Livestock theft has been around forever. It is a crime that is often undetected and unreported but when reported it is most likely inadequately investigated. Livestock theft is very similar to other property crimes, it's all about money and often times is driven by addictions. Livestock theft is also unique. Stolen animals can be hard to track and harder to identify if located. The stolen animal has a short life span and will be permanently gone in a matter of time. In livestock theft investigations time is of the essence. Knowing where to start and what evidence to obtain is key to a successful investigation.

The report contains information regarding campus safety and security including topics such as: campus law enforcement authority; crime reporting policies; campus alerts (Timely Warnings and Emergency Notifications); fire safety policies and procedures; programs to prevent sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking; the procedures the institution will follow when one of these crimes is reported; and other matters of importance related to security on campus. The report also contains information about crime statistics for the three most recent calendar years concerning reported crimes that occurred On-Campus; in On-Campus Student Housing Facilities; in Non-Campus buildings or property owned or controlled by the institution or a recognized student organization; and on Public Property within, or immediately adjacent to and accessible from, the campus. The report also contains fire statistics for any fires occurring in an On-Campus Student Housing Facility during the three most recent calendar years.
